Greetings, everyone!
My response to this contest is that, in every move or step from one path to another, fear must always be there. Fear of the unknown, rejection, and many more to think of. Either in business, career, or otherwise. For my fear to be evacuated, I have to face my fear by taking a bold step to pursue that thing.
After my NYSC, I was thinking of what's next, fear gripped of how I'm going to step into life as a young lady, who doesn't have biological parents and relatives in a strange land. Became so scared of applying for Jobs and facing a panel for an interview when being called upon. I took a bold step to experience things I have not experienced before.
Indeed, I applied for jobs in different organisations, and I waited to be called upon for an interview, and they did so according to their own time. I was afraid of what questions they would ask me, and I was also afraid of what answers I would give. But it was exciting when I took the bold step to pursue opportunities and that opened doors to experience.
Fortunately, I was able to attend all the interviews, well prepared and well delivered. At some point, I would appraise myself for taking such steps and being able to deliver in responding to every question asked. The experience was superb and I didn't take it for granted.
I worked with boldness and answered questions with boldness. Initially, before I even planned to apply, fear had already crippled me, but as I stepped out of my comfort zone, it was a different story.
Out of 5 organizations for which I applied for a job, two called me after the interview, and I handed over the two to God to direct my path to the right one that is for me. I thank God for wisdom. God did it miraculously, and I lay hold of the possession with great joy in my heart. So I am happy and excited.
Fear can put a man in loopholes of disappointment, delay, and backwardness. It's the man who will lift that fear out of his life by taking a bold step and walking out of the bondage of fear to greatness.
The Bible says, "God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power(boldness), love, and a sound mind". God has done it already, it is for me and you to walk into alignment with the scripture and be wrought in signs and wonders.
